[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1813535, member: 3916"] Everyone knows BU tends to go overboard with praise on recruits ( comparing charmin to Jason Kidd ,. etc ) but i remember he was very effusive with his praise on Dain and i think i remember Tim A. also singing his praises...........Well , after 2 games I think we have a suitable replacement for King Kofi with more mobility and the ability to change his shot with better footwork........I know 2 games is a short case study , but it looks very good so far as he has 2 double doubles against lower level competition for sure..... I really think we have a squad where anyone of the main rotation players are capable of leading the team in scoring on any given game.......And the defense has been amazing in their ability to slow down the opponents flow on offense WITHOUT a lot of fouls being called .....The Illini are applying pressure D being 2-3 feet away from the opponent and drawing closer when the opponent stops dribbling ..............Some times even with them double teaming the opponent......... The true eye test is coming up with the games against ucla and baylor / uva , with a later game against texas.....we should then have a clearer idea of where the Illini stand in the college BB realm.........JMHO...
